Just in case anyone was wondering whether religions are so confident in their truth that they don’t worry about how many people believe in it, the Vatican has informed the world that there are now more Muslims than Catholics. Ouch! An interesting quote from Monsignor Vittorio Formenti:

“For the first time in history we are no longer at the top: the Muslims have overtaken us.”

Ah yes, history. According to some experts it extends to over three hundred years ago!

What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn’t make it worse. Not being open about it doesn’t make it go away. And because it’s true, it is what is there to be interacted with. Anything untrue isn’t there to be lived. People can stand what is true, for they are already enduring it.
